Deep Ukraine Part 6: RT America, Abby Martin, and Russian Media Warfare

We discuss the recent Mediaroots podcast by Abby and Robbie Martin, titled "RIP RT America: The End of an Era," which details Abby's time at RT and some of hers and Robbie's thoughts and recollections. We talk about some of Abby's strong points in terms of activism and journalism as well as areas where her coverage and perspective falls short. We close by discussing Russian state media policy related to September 11th, bringing in Abby as well as John Kiriakou of Radio Sputnik. https://soundcloud.com/media-roots/rip-rt-america-the-end-of-an-era https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZvpW36yo4Q4 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=revx-akHmAM https://www.dni.gov/files/documents/ICA_2017_01.pdf https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HnZSaKYmP2s https://www.nytimes.com/2017/09/26/magazine/how-fake-news-turned-a-small-town-upside-down.html https://www.filmsforaction.org/watch/gaza-fights-for-freedom/ https://twitter.com/MaxBlumenthal/status/763105569712410624 http://911blogger.com/news/2016-08-17/max-blumenthal-finds-abby-martin-not-guilty-911-truth https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RT_(TV_network) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Al_Yah_Satellite_Communications https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foxtel https://newrepublic.com/article/148342/cia-spy-became-russian-propagandist
